I'm new. I've been playing chess since I was...oh, ten maybe younger. I got myself this really cool portable chess board with magnetic peices; you can play against a computer or turn it off and play against another person. You can also play checkers, but I have *never* played checkers and I don't care to learn. There's 73 levels of chess 1= easy and 73= hard. It's called "Excalibur"....very neat.

The word "checkmate", to my ears, is bliss. (me)

I hope you enjoy your stay at chess.net. I also have that excalibur game its pretty neat and it gets really tough depending on what you set it at. I even think the intermediate games can be tough but just because its a computer I guess. Depends.
